Local Chef Tim Creehan Ponders Fame and Food

Entrepreneur, local restaurateur and “chef to the stars” Tim Creehan says he didn’t set out to become famous. 

“I didn’t go looking for success. I was looking for a career in culinary arts. I wanted to be a chef from the time I was 14 years old.

“When I wanted to become a chef, being a chef wasn’t cool. We were no different than plumbers or mechanics. When I left work to go to the store to buy something for the restaurant, I’d bring a T-shirt and take off my chef jacket because I didn’t want anyone to think I was a cook or butcher or whatever.”

YOLO Board Race Series Means Summer in SoWal

Summer comes alive in South Walton around the time school lets out, or the annual YOLO Race Series starts, whichever comes first. This year the start of the race series coincides with the end of school on Thursday May 24.

Alice Cooper was visiting SoWal a couple of weeks ago. Somebody needs to tell the YOLO crew to kickoff the first race this year with his iconic anthem from 1972, "School's Out" (for Summer!).
